Sydney Town Hall, Sydney 2000 Olympics, 10th anniversary celebrations

The Sydney Town Hall this week featured light projections to celebrate of the 10th anniversary of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The theme of the display was "The Best Olympic Games Ever", a declaration made after the games by Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee. It was created as a thank you to the thousands of volunteers who participated in the games. A cauldron also burnt brightly at the entrance of the town hall.

Sydney is very good at lighting up its buildings and celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Olympic Games is a very good reason to do so again.

The photos took my breath away!

I started my "challenge" ideas between the photography world and the "art" world bloggers. I would be interested to know what you think as you said you liked the idea. Please let me know if it is too complicated - or any thoughts you may have. Thanks!

Sydney does such clever things with night time illumination. Very handsome.

Good grief more lights on buildings ... I think it's time they though of something else to do.
